GG, in your case they'd have to give you increased sales for years but won't many programs throw in extra sales just to increase the ratios for a single week? This just seems silly since a sponsor doing poorly can just add additional sales and then have someone publish the false results for them.

I would bet that Mayor's Money will show accurate results but I'll also bet that within 6 weeks a program will at least be tempted to pad the results. Of course this is great for Sponsor Challenge since they will get the extra payouts but terrible for other webmasters.
